Normally, pure silver is too soft for successful flute tube production because it requires trace amounts of harder metals in the alloy to give it sufficient strength. The traditional method of creating a melted metal alloy results in pure silver tubes unsuitable for flute making. Sinter technology creates hard tubes of pure silver by compacting the silver under great pressure without melting it into a soft alloy. This unique process produces a dense and brilliant hard silver tube with supreme projecting qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Altus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46965758034214,"sku":"FLALTS1707XXX-0","price":19000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/Altus_201707-1.jpg?v=1697466778","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/altus-flute-1707ps","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
